Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ext2: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separately

From: Pekka Enberg <[email protected]>

As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext2_sb_info is 17024 bytes on 64-bit which
makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory
is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32.

To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page
in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext2_sb_info enough to
fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of 32 KB saving
15 KB of memory.
